How long does it take to rebuild a 4 stroke engine?
A four-stroke top end is generally rebuilt at the 25-30 hour mark if you’re a regular racer, and more importantly on a 250F, which is typically ridden more aggressively. On a 450, or if you’re riding the bike under an ‘easy’ load, then rebuilding the top end between 30-40 hours will be adequate.
Why do truckers leave engine running?
Diesel fuel turns to a gel state in freezing temperatures so truckers usually add anti-gel fluid into the fuel to help prevent this, and they leave the engine running to keep the fuel from gelling in the engine. Some trucks do not have an auxiliary power unit (APU) to generate electricity when the engine is turned off.
Is overhauling an engine good?
An engine overhaul is an excellent option for engines that aren’t old or excessively worn but are still experiencing issues. In many cases, an engine overhaul can effectively fix any issues with your engine and save you a significant amount of money over having your engine replaced completely.
